My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!

Stephanie is a really good sitter and well taken care of Cheyenne. Cheyenne loved her time there, and we will board her again in the future. Highly recommended.

Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.

Took my senior baby on short notice and did such a great job with her! Very responsive, sent nightly pictures, and gave her oral medications (and double checked when they noticed a missing medication that I forgot to remove from her care instructions!). Highly recommend!

Martine and Ronald were so wonderful! We had a 10 day trip planned and were nervous to leave Cosmo for that long. They were so kind and took great care of him! We got pictures and updates daily so we could see how he was doing and check in. He loved their yard and getting to relax in the sun. All communication was very quick and responsive, and they were super flexible with our schedule while traveling. They also handled all of his meds and supplement needs without any issues. Cosmo had a great time and would definitely love to stay with them again in the future!

We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!

Barbara was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time since moving to a new city and leaving my dog with someone other than a family member. Barbara made me feel so comfortable to leave my dog with her, she erased all of my worries the moment I met her! It was clear how deeply she cared for animals and evident that she would take amazing care of any animal entrusted to her. Barbara sent me regular photos and updates on how my dog was doing, I never had to question or worry that my dog wasn't treated properly. I would highly recommend choosing Barbara as a sitter to anyone looking for someone to love on your pet for a while!

Alexandria was an absolutely amazing host for Kash. She was extremely communicative, making sure to send frequent picture updates. She was also very attentive to Kash’s needs and I believe this contributed to his overall comfort away from home.

This was my first time leaving Kairo for an extended period of time outside of work and with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous. From the start, Re’Anna was on point with communicating, attentive to things he needed and kept me updated throughout his entire stay. I received plenty of detailed updates about his walks, eating habits, playtime and overall mood, which gave me a peace of mind being in NY. I will absolutely be booking again. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, transparent, provide plenty of exercise and love not only from her but her kids as well then I highly recommend booking with Re’Anna. I couldn’t say thank you enough for taking care of Kairo!

10/10 recommend Chase as a dog sitter! Chase provided daily updates on Sadie throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. He also arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so Sadie could get comfortable in the new environment prior to the stay. He followed all instructions carefully and communicated any updates, additions, or modifications that came up during her stay. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service. I highly recommend Chase and will definitely be using him again!
